About the Project

How can we tantalize the ears and create future musicians? Teaching children how to read sheet music and play an instrument can have positive effects on mental health, promote responsibility, and create well-rounded individuals that may enter into a career in the arts! Welcome to the Music Wolf Pack! Our school mascot is the wolf and this program will encourage working as a team to learn how to read and play music. Since music is not part of most curriculum in elementary school, children grow up not knowing the amazing world of musicology. My District is in a low socio-economic area with a high percentage of English Learners. If students have to practice an instrument daily, attend daily virtual and in-person “Den” sessions with a teacher, memorize notes, and create beats, this will lead to better learners with skills that permeate into other subjects. The 3rd-6th grade students would be taught in a virtual setting and in-person instruction during the blended program a couple days a week. By learning on a basic instrument such as a recorder, students can then advance to complex instruments like a keyboard. Creating lifelong musicians and exposing students to the arts, creates well-rounded and intellectual individuals ready to conquer the world!
